Am 21. Juli 1969 betrat der US-Amerikaner Neil Armstrong als erster Mensch den Mond. »Ein kleiner Schritt für einen Menschen, doch ein großer Schritt für die Menschheit.« Diese Worte wurden seither unzählbar oft wiederholt und gingen in die Geschichte ein. Es war eine wahre Pionierleistung, die der Amerikaner vollbrachte und mit der er weltberühmt wurde. Aber kennen Sie auch den zweiten Mann auf dem Mond? Den dritten? Den vierten? Buzz Aldrin, der mit Neil Armstrong als zweiter Mensch den Mond betrat, ist kaum jemandem mehr ein Begriff.Der US-Amerikaner James Irwin war der achte Mensch auf dem Mond. Er fuhr 1971 als Erster mit dem Mondauto »Rover« durch den Mondstaub. Rückblickend sagte er: »In der Einsamkeit der Kraterlandschaft spürte ich Gottes Schöpfermacht und Allgegenwart. Der größte Tag in der menschlichen Geschichte war nicht, als der erste Mensch den Mond betrat, sondern als Gottes Sohn auf die Erde kam.« Egal, wie meisterhaft die Mondlandung damals auch gewesen sein mag: Die Weltgeschichte kennt einen noch viel größeren Tag!An Weihnachten erinnern wir uns daran, dass Gottes Sohn – Jesus Christus – auf diese Welt kam. Er setzte seine Füße in den Staub dieser Erde. Er vollbrachte damit eine einzigartige Pionierleistung. Denn Gott selbst wurde Mensch, um uns vom Tod als unausweichlicher Folge unserer Sünden zu retten. Jesus Christus kam freiwillig und aus Liebe; der Schöpfer des Universums kam als ein kleines Kind zur Welt. Er erleuchtete die Finsternis und gibt uns Menschen Hoffnung und Zuversicht – einen Ausblick auf das ewige Leben für jeden, der ihm glaubt. Seine Ankunft auf diesem Planeten brachte echten Frieden. Frieden mit Gott. Das ist der wahrhaft größte Tag in der Menschheitsgeschichte!Joel WjstDiese und viele weitere Andachten online lesenWeitere Informationen zu »Leben ist mehr« erhalten Sie unter www.lebenistmehr.de

Miguel Ángel González Suárez te presenta el Informativo de Primera Hora en 'El Remate', el programa matinal de La Diez Capital Radio que arranca tu día con: Las noticias más relevantes de Canarias, España y el mundo, analizadas con rigor y claridad. España destrona a Argentina con un gol de Ferran en el minuto 106 y se proclama campeona del mundo por segunda vez. Luis de la Fuente: "Juntos somos más fuertes. Que no le quepa duda a nadie" Lionel Scaloni: "Somos grandes en la victoria y tenemos que ser grandes en la derrota" Venezuela eleva a 5.119 los muertos por los terremotos. Hoy se cumplen 1.613 días de guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania. 4 años y 145 días. Hoy es lunes 20 de julio de 2026. Día del Amigo. El Día del Amigo tiene sus orígenes en la famosa llegada del hombre a la luna y es que este fue el suceso elegido por Enrique Ernesto Febbraro, un locutor argentino miembro de la logia masónica, para intentar incentivar en el mundo una celebración que girase en torno a una virtud altruista como lo es la amistad sincera. El mismo día en el que el coronel de la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos, Edwin Aldrin hiciese su incursión a la luna junto con Neil Armstrong en el Apolo XI. La razón de esta decisión es que Aldrin también era masón y Febrano sentía mucha empatía hacia él. Así que se le ocurrió que una excelente manera de celebrar el logro de este hombre era conmemorar en la víspera de su viaje un día que tuviese como génesis un sentimiento humano limpio y puro, como lo es la amistad. 1535.- Conquista de Túnez por los tercios españoles de Carlos I y huída a Argel del corsario Barbarroja. 1876.- Alfonso XII firma la ley que anula el régimen foral de las vascongadas. 1904.- Parte desde Moscú hacia Vladivostok la primera locomotora del Transiberiano. 1921.- Trasladan los restos del Cid Campeador y su esposa, doña Jimena, del Ayuntamiento a la catedral de Burgos.

Su objetivo primordial es crear conciencia del valor de una especie animal que ha sido tan temida por las personas, pero que, sin embargo, llama la atención y la curiosidad de los que son apasionados por descubrir los misterios y la magia que encierra esta enigmática y exótica criatura. Las serpientes son animales de la familia de los reptiles que presentan unas características físicas muy particulares. Poseen un cuerpo bastante alargado el cual está desprovisto de extremidades y que para desplazarse necesitan reptar con movimientos ondulantes laterales. Su cuerpo está cubierto de escamas y en su interior poseen vértebras. Son animales carnívoros que se alimentan principalmente de la caza de otras especies animales y para ello recurren al mecanismo de constricción o inyectando veneno a través de la mordedura. 1779.- Carlos III de España declara la guerra a Inglaterra. 1817.- Viaje inaugural del "Real San Fernando", primer barco de vapor que hizo servicio regular de pasajeros en los mares de España. 1898.- Guerra hispano-estadounidense: rendición de Santiago de Cuba. 1945.- Primera explosión atómica, realizada por los norteamericanos en el desierto de Alamo Gordo, en Nuevo México. 1947.- El Parlamento británico aprueba la ley que otorga la independencia a India. 1965.- Inaugurado el túnel para el tráfico rodado que atraviesa el Mont Blanc. 1969.- Lanzado al espacio el cohete que transporta hacia la Luna a los astronautas estadounidenses Edwin Aldrin, Neil Armstrong y Michael Collins. 1980.- El empresario español Juan Antonio Samaranch es elegido presidente del Comité Olímpico Internacional (COI), en Moscú. 1990.- El Parlamento de Ucrania declara la soberanía de la segunda república más importante de la URSS. 2002.- La organización terrorista IRA pide disculpas a las familias de las víctimas por 30 años de violencia en el Ulster. 2008.- Los reyes de España y de Arabia Saudí inauguran la Conferencia Internacional para el Diálogo entre musulmanes, judíos y cristianos. 2015.- El Congreso español aprueba la reforma de la ley del aborto para impedir que las menores interrumpan el embarazo sin permiso paterno.

Los precios no dan tregua en Canarias: el IPC escala en junio impulsado por el coste de los transportes. El Archipiélago encadena cuatro meses de incrementos y se sitúa por encima de la media nacional impulsado por el repunte del transporte (+8,3%) y la hostelería (+5,2%). Canarias retira las pantallas de las aulas de 0 a 3 años y las limita hasta los 6 años. La decisión se basa en que en esta etapa educativa el currículo otorga especial relevancia a la exploración sensorial y psicomotriz, al juego libre, a la manipulación de materiales reales, al movimiento y a la interacción directa con las personas adultas, con los iguales y con el entorno físico. Los juzgados y tribunales de Canarias resolvieron durante 2025 un 16,6% más de asuntos por órgano judicial que la media nacional mientras afrontaron la mayor tasa de litigiosidad del Estado en las cuatro jurisdicciones por séptimo año consecutivo. Un día como hoy pero en 1948 nace Rubén Blades Díaz, músico y político panameño.
US Central Command says its latest barrage of strikes against Iran is designed to degrade Tehran's military capacity to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump warns military strikes will intensify if Iran does not cooperate in peace talks, and both sides threaten further escalation to gain control over the key shipping lane.Also: prosecutors in Bolivia investigate reports that Bolivian citizens are being tricked into fighting for Russia in Ukraine. The Australian government announces plans to regulate the growing AI sector. Tensions escalate in Pakistani-administered Kashmir as security forces try to stop protesters marching on the main city of Muzaffarabad to demand more political representation. Border checks between Spain and Gibraltar are permanently lifted, after London and Brussels sign a free movement treaty affecting the British territory.

El 16 de julio de 1969, la misión Apolo 11 partió hacia la Luna. Mientras el mundo miraba a Neil Armstrong y Buzz Aldrin caminar sobre la superficie lunar, un tercer astronauta, Michael Collins, orbitaba solo a bordo del módulo de comando Columbia. Collins no pisó la Luna. Su nombre rara vez aparece primero. Pero sin él manteniendo el módulo en órbita estable durante más de veintiún horas de espera, Armstrong y Aldrin no habrían tenido adónde regresar. Su fidelidad invisible hizo posible el regreso. De la misma manera, Dios honra la fidelidad que nadie aplaude. El servicio que no aparece en los titulares, la oración que nadie escucha, la obediencia discreta que sostiene lo que otros ven. El reino de Dios avanza sobre una red de fidelidades invisibles que muy pocas personas conocen, pero que Dios ve con total claridad. Si hoy sientes que tu trabajo pasa inadvertido, no lo subestimes. Lo que se construye en lo oculto suele ser lo que sostiene lo que todos admiran. Dios no mide el valor por la visibilidad; lo mide por la fidelidad. La Biblia dice en Lucas 16:10: "El que es fiel en lo muy poco, también en lo más es fiel". (RV1960).

Antes de que Neil Armstrong pisara la Luna, la Casa Blanca ya tenía escrito su funeral. No era una metáfora, ni una exageración dramática posterior, ni uno de esos detalles que los guionistas inventan para que la historia parezca más redonda. En julio de 1969, mientras medio planeta miraba al cielo convencido de que estaba presenciando la victoria definitiva del ingenio humano, en algún cajón de Washington esperaba un discurso preparado para el caso de que Armstrong y Aldrin no pudieran volver. Si el módulo lunar no despegaba, si la operación fallaba, si los dos astronautas quedaban atrapados para siempre en la superficie de la Luna, Nixon tendría que salir en televisión y explicar al mundo que aquellos hombres se habían quedado allí arriba, convertidos en monumento y advertencia al mismo tiempo. La historia oficial recuerda el pequeño paso para el hombre. La historia útil, la que sirve para invertir, recuerda el plan B. Hay algo profundamente bursátil en esa escena. Los mercados siempre prefieren mirar el despegue: el humo, la épica, la cuenta atrás, la promesa de que esta vez la gravedad ha sido derrotada por una mezcla de genio, acero y relaciones públicas. Nos fascinan los cohetes porque parecen convertir el riesgo en espectáculo, y quizá por eso también nos fascinan ciertas acciones cuando empiezan a hablar el idioma del futuro. Pero las carteras no suelen romperse en el momento del despegue. Se rompen después, cuando descubrimos que nadie había leído el discurso alternativo. Esta semana en Actualidad Semanal +D hablamos precisamente de eso: de una semana en la que Wall Street volvió a mirar al cielo, pero también al petróleo, a la Reserva Federal, a los chips, a una vieja empresa que parecía amortizada, a una pizza que cambió de dueño y a varias compañías que están descubriendo que el futuro es maravilloso, sí, pero también viene con factura, dilución, deuda y tipos de interés. No es un episodio sobre ser optimista o pesimista, porque esa división suele ser más útil para discutir en cenas que para gestionar una cartera. Es un episodio sobre algo bastante más incómodo: cómo distinguir una gran historia de una gran valoración, una promesa legítima de una promesa que ya cotiza como si hubiera cumplido, una empresa que vende las palas de la fiebre del oro de otra que simplemente está cavando con dinero ajeno. Los mercados, como la Luna en 1969, siempre ofrecen dos relatos. Uno es el que se televisa: brillante, limpio, irresistible. El otro es el que alguien prudente guarda en un cajón por si la nave no vuelve. El episodio de esta semana va del segundo.
You could say that Peter MacNab is to caving what Neil Armstrong is to the moon.
El 20 de julio de 1969, Neil Armstrong pronunció las palabras que llevan décadas resonando: “un pequeño paso para el hombre, un gran salto para la humanidad”. Ocho palabras transmitidas desde la Luna a seiscientos millones de personas. Más de medio siglo después, se siguen citando. Las palabras bien pronunciadas en el momento correcto trascienden a quien las dijo. Salomón observó que la muerte y la vida están en poder de la lengua. No es metáfora; es diagnóstico. Las palabras tienen un peso real sobre quienes las reciben, especialmente las que provienen de quienes tienen autoridad en la vida de alguien. Una palabra de aliento en el momento correcto puede cambiar la dirección de una vida. Una palabra destructiva puede marcar a alguien por décadas. Por lo tanto, antes de hablar hoy, pregúntate: ¿edifica lo que voy a decir a quien lo va a recibir? La Biblia dice en Proverbios 18:21: "La muerte y la vida están en poder de la lengua, y el que la ama comerá de sus frutos". (RV1960).

Apple TV's Star City sends us behind the Iron Curtain of the For All Mankind universe first introduced to us in 2019. Revisiting the space race from the Soviet point of view, the two-episode premiere, “The Eyes” and “A Bear on a Chain,” returns the story to its roots. With Sergei Korolev surviving, Alexei Leonov beating Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the moon, and Anastasia Belikova becoming the first woman on the lunar surface, Star City brings us back to the moment this alternate timeline truly began.In this podcast, we discuss whether this spin-off can match the wonder of For All Mankind, how it compares to other Soviet-themed shows like Chernobyl and The Americans, and films like The Lives of Others. We dissect the plot, favorite and least favorite moments, whether it met our expectations, and more. Welcome to Today's Episode.
As of this episode, we've only six listener questions left, so do send one in today. Though now we've mentioned it we're braced for a tsunami of filth, or at least a tsunami of questions, we're happy to discuss anything you care, or dare, to throw our way.The first of two listener questions for today's episode comes from Ray in Newmilns, Scotland - “I've been thinking about human evolution in space, but closer to home than you think. Recently a group of astronauts came home early as one was ill, but we've yet to experience fighting, arguments, crime, murder, death and war in space. All negative I know, but how would these occurrences affect space travel/exploration in the short/medium/long term?”Stuart feels that even if space exploration leads to a wide range of positive and negative outcomes, including conflict and advancement, the underlying human behaviours are likely to remain consistent, suggesting that when humanity extends itself into space, it may still interpret and repeat familiar patterns of narrow mindedness and conflict seen on Earth.William argues that human space travel remains extraordinarily rare, with only a tiny number of highly selected individuals ever experiencing it, and suggests that astronauts such as Neil Armstrong are chosen precisely for their exceptional stress tolerance and emotional control. He contends that this unusual temperament enables people to function effectively in extreme environments and may help explain why space has so far remained relatively free of conflict.The second of today's two listener questions arrives from Drew in Standerwick, Somerset, England - “Where do you think you'll be as creators in 5 years?”Stuart notes that the podcast is tied to a five year timeline following the community interest company's he and William are involved with, first funding round, meaning it would likely conclude in 2031, after which he hopes to retire, reduce pressure on himself, and focus on managing his health with greater acceptance rather than pursuing new projets. Using humour, including jokes about figures like Neil Armstrong and “never” starting to like jazz, he frames this as a deliberate preference for slowing down rather than reinventing himself.William explains that he is considering creative projects for the future, including a YouTube based history channel about Oxford's hidden history beyond the university focus, as well as producing music. He feels these are ideas he would like to develop over the next five years but is not placing pressure on himself, allowing them to remain flexible alongside other priorities. He perceives creative work as needing a clear sense of purpose or “so what” factor, explaining that he wants any output he produces to feel meaningful rather than simply existing for the sake of constant production.

Our guest today is Doug Cooke, an aerospace consultant who spent 38 years at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston and NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. STEM-Talk host and IHMC founder Dr. Ken Ford, a former Associate Director of NASA's Ames Research Center and Director of NASA's Center of Excellence in Information Technology, interviewed Doug just four days after the astronauts of NASA's Artemis II mission splashed down in the Pacific Ocean following a historic 10-day roundtrip from the Earth to the Moon. In today's episode, Ken and Doug discuss the Artemis mission as well as NASA's plans to return humans to the lunar surface by 2028. Doug also shares his concern that China could one day surpass America's leadership role in human spaceflight. During his 38 years at NASA, Doug played critical roles in the Space Shuttle, International Space Station and Human Exploration spaceflight programs. During the last three years of his NASA career, he served as Associate Administrator of the Exploration Systems Mission Directorate, which oversees the development of systems critical to NASA’s plans for human exploration of the Moon and Mars, including the Artemis program. Show notes: [00:04:05] Ken opens our interview with Doug by talking about the Artemis II mission, which is the first crewed mission beyond low earth orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972. Harrison Schmidtt, who was on Apollo 17, was our guest on episode 4. Ken asks Doug for his key takeaways of the Artemis II mission, which set the record for a manned mission from Earth, traveling 252,756 miles into space and breaking Apollo 13's record. [00:06:18] Ken explains that the Artemis missions signal a new age of space exploration as well as the beginning of a new space race between the U.S. and China. NASA aims to land humans on the Moon by 2028 while China expects to land humans on the moon in 2030. Ken has previously stated that he does not have confidence in NASA's current mission architecture to achieve NASA's stated goal of 2028, and asks Doug for his thoughts on the matter. [00:07:28] Ken asks if it is true that Yuri Gagarin, who become the first human to fly into space, is what initially sparked Doug's interest in science and space. [00:08:54] Ken notes that Gagarin's orbit around the earth inspired President Kennedy to vow that the United States would ramp up its space program and become the first nation to land a man on the moon. Ken mentions that he believes the Apollo 11 mission, which landed astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the lunar surface, was one the greatest technological advances in world history. Ken asks Doug for his thoughts on the success of the Apollo program. [00:10:28] Ken mentions that Doug went to college at Texas A&M and majored in aerospace engineering. Kens asks Doug how he got a job at NASA after graduating. [00:12:21] Ken explains that Doug was instrumental in the development of the space shuttle and the International Space Station during his time at NASA. Doug talks about what it was like working on those projects at NASA. [00:15:16] Ken mentions that Doug also had an instrumental role in the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS), and the broader Exploration Technology Program. Ken points out that Doug became head of the exploration technology program in 1990 under then NASA Associate Administrator Mike Griffin, who was our guest on episodes 134 and 189. Ken asks Doug about meeting Mike. [00:16:17] Ken mentions that Mike Griffin and Lisa Porter were our guests on episode 189, where they voiced concerns about NASA's current plans for a return to the moon. Ken goes on to mention that near the end of Doug's career at NASA, he was the head of Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD), which is responsible for the development of systems critical to NASA's plans for future exploration of the Moon and Mars. Ken asks Doug to talk about his role as head of the directorate and the work he did there. [00:18:55] Ken explains that Doug has written extensively on the issues with the Artemis mission architecture, most notably in a recent article for space news. Before jumping into the article, Ken asks Doug to talk about why it is important and also a national-security concern that we return to the moon before China. [00:21:12] Looping back to Doug's op-ed in Space News, Ken notes that Doug stressed the need for NASA to develop a plan-B for the Artemis mission, with Doug and others noting that without a plan-B, the U.S. risks of losing the space race to the Moon. Doug has also gone on record to say that China has a far simpler, more direct, and more technically conservative plan than NASA. Ken asks Doug to elaborate on this. [00:22:37] Ken asks Doug to talk about the issues he and others have identified with NASA's current proposed landing system. [00:26:14] Ken asks Doug to give a better understanding for the listeners of just how tall the proposed SpaceX lander is, and why that is a potential problem for not only landing on the moon in the proposed locations, but also for the astronauts exiting and entering. [00:28:51] Ken asks Doug to talk about what plan-B for Artemis looks like. [00:30:12] Ken asks Doug about the powerful thrust generation of the SpaceX lander. This raises the concern of regolith blast and generating significant debris fields while landing and thus reducing the scientific value of the region immediately surrounding the landing site. [00:30:59] Ken asks if Doug has any other thoughts on a potential plan-B. [00:33:02] Ken notes that the success of the mission hinges on the least proven element, namely the lander. While other elements of the mission architecture are well established, the hardest and least tested elements are normally the weakest links. Ken asks Doug's thoughts on this position. [00:34:31] Ken asks Doug to talk about the complexity of the Artemis mission architecture and that it is largely driven by the Lander and NASA's requirements. There was a high interest in re-usability which increased complexity. Neither of the two Landers under development are an optimal design for a lunar lander. [00:35:37] Ken asks Doug about the role of commercial companies sometimes called “new space” in space exploration. [00:37:02] Ken asks Doug if he feels discouraged by the fact that the U.S. has squandered a 60-year head start in space exploration. [00:37:36] Ken explains that China aims to send humans to Mars by 2050, and NASA aims to do the same by 2040, while Elon Musk proposes to send humans to Mars by 2029, which Ken says is a completely untenable notion. Ken notes that statements such as that from Musk vastly understate the difficulty entailed in a Mars mission. Given that Doug was part of the early planning of a Mars mission at NASA, he asks Doug to talk about the challenges that such a mission faces. [00:42:17] Ken and Doug discuss the problem with EDL (Entry Descent and Landing) that Mars uniquely poses. [00:43:09] Ken also brings up the issue of crew health and wellness. By the time they reach Mars, given the extended time spent in a high-radiation, micro-gravity environment, maintaining crew health in transit is critical to mission success. [00:43:47] Ken poses the concern that if it becomes likely that China will reach the moon before the U.S. can return, then NASA or the political leadership may adopt the attitude that we've already been to the moon, and that we should just jump straight to Mars. [00:46:24] Ken asks for Doug's thoughts on NASA's current leadership and workforce. [00:49:01] Ken quizzes Doug about the aims, goals, and mission architecture of Artemis III and IV. [00:51:16] Ken notes that the design of Artemis III might negatively impact the overall mission goal of landing on the Moon by 2028. [00:52:04] Ken shifts to talk more about Artemis IV, elements of which, Ken notes, need much more testing to be ready. [00:52:58] Ken closes our interview noting that Doug will return for another interview on STEM-Talk in 2028 to see if Artemis is on schedule. Ken ends by asking Doug about how he started his hobby of collecting Civil War artifacts after he retired and moved to Gettysburg, as well as his hobby of collecting antique cars. [00:55:17] Ken closes by asking Doug to name the favorite car he has collected. Links: Doug Cooke bio Learn more about IHMC STEM-Talk homepage Ken Ford bio Ken Ford Wikipedia page
Who invented the moonwalk? Does it really matter?We get derailed by the history of dance before we can take our first step on the lunar surface for the third installment of our deep dive into the moon landing.We then get sidetracked by a debate over if the moon has days and nights, and some (inevitable) talk about flossing on the moon, but it's not long before we're skipping into tales of moon rocks in Finglas, the little known truth behind Neil Armstrong's most famous quote, and secret holy ceremonies and secret telepathic experiments on the moon - and all on NASA's time.After their high risk landing the Apollo 11 astronauts may have hoped to be free of danger, but we hear how a broken switch, a high ladder step and a quickly shutting door could have caused separate disasters, in the space of just a few minutes.The conversation gets heated over talk of visible wires holding up the astronauts, and we all share in the childlike joy of Darren Conway realizing his new moon toys have a secret power.Send all of your questions, comments & deep dive suggestions to stallit@goloudnow.com
The Space Show Presents Virtual Moon With Manny Pimenta & Philippe van NederveldeQuick Summary:This was a Space Show program featuring Manny Pimenta and Philip van Nedervelde presenting their Virtual Moon project, which aims to create a digital twin of the lunar surface for immersive virtual reality experiences. Manny explained that Virtual Moon began as Lunar Explorer over 20 years ago but was ahead of its time when consumer VR hardware wasn't available. The current project uses NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter data as its foundation and includes a working Apollo 11 landing simulation that can be experienced on VR headsets like Quest 2 and 3. Philip detailed their technical approach, which involves using AI and generative adversarial networks to upscale the LRO data to higher resolution and create photorealistic lunar terrain. The team demonstrated live reactions from users experiencing the VR simulation and discussed their plans for “One Giant Leap,” a new product release featuring multiple Apollo 11 mission vignettes including Armstrong's first steps on the moon and the lunar module's ascent. They also revealed their concept for “Selene City,” a large-scale lunar habitat designed to accommodate 5,000 people by 2045, which would serve as both an engineering simulation and potential resort destination. The discussion covered technical challenges including real-time rendering requirements and how they plan to address issues like unlit craters and lava tubes through lighting systems and future data upgrades.Detailed :SummaryThe meeting focused on demonstrating Virtual Moon, a virtual reality project that creates immersive lunar experiences. Manny introduced the project's history, explaining that it evolved from Lunar Explorer, which was created over 20 years ago when consumer VR hardware wasn't available. Philippe detailed the technical approach, describing how they use NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter data as a foundation and plan to enhance it using AI and generative adversarial networks to achieve higher resolution and accuracy comparable to Apollo mission photographs. The team encountered technical difficulties with screen sharing during the demonstration, preventing them from showing the actual VR content to the audience.Manny explained that Virtual Moon offers users the opportunity to own a piece of virtual lunar property, starting with 100 square meters free, with additional property available for purchase. He announced the upcoming release of the “One Giant Leap” Apollo 11 VR experience, priced at $15, with a $10 pre-order that includes 2,000 square meters of Virtual Moon property as a special promotion. Philippe clarified that the experience will be web-delivered and compatible with various VR headsets including Quest models and Pico headsets, with plans for a multi-user metaverse version of Virtual Moon.Philippe explained how the virtual moon mapping system will handle dark craters by using virtual headlights to illuminate elevation data, and mentioned that the system will be updatable with higher resolution data from other space agencies. He described a planned collaboration with a company developing an unmanned mission to explore lava tubes at Lacus Mortis, where robots equipped with lidar would provide real-time 3D scans that would be integrated into the virtual moon system. The team also discussed their existing Apollo 11 VR landing experience, which recreates the actual landing trajectory and maneuvers using historical telemetry data, and Dr. Kothari expressed interest in potentially using similar virtual mission simulations for his own lunar landing system designs.Manny and Philippe discussed plans for Virtual Moon, which will include a complete recreation of all moon missions with photorealistic 3D animations, serving both space enthusiasts and the professional space industry for mission planning and troubleshooting. They outlined future features including games like lunar racing and treasure hunts, as well as potential revenue streams from Hollywood studios using virtual lunar terrain for movie sets. The team is working on a new automated website version and has already received interest from potential investors including Dr. Kothari, with plans to expand to other celestial bodies like Mars in the future.The team demonstrated virtual reality experiences of the moon using Quest headsets, including a simulation of the Apollo 11 landing and a construction site on Malapert Mountain. Manny explained the concept of Saline, a planned large-scale lunar city designed to accommodate 5,000 people by 2045, which will serve as both a resort destination and an engineering simulation to prove the feasibility of building such a city. Dr. suggested connecting this plan with NASA's lunar base development timeline, particularly with Carlos Galan Garcia's work on lunar base phases, and Manny agreed to reach out to him for collaboration.Manny discussed the Virtual Moon project and announced the upcoming “One Giant Leap” release, which will build on the existing Apollo 11 VR landing experience with improved visual quality and additional content including a vignette of Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon, a mini-game for landing the lunar module, and interactive laser experiments. Philippe provided details about the new features, explaining that users can experience the Apollo 11 landing, see the first steps on the moon through different viewpoints, attempt to land the Eagle, watch the historic rocket launch, and explore Tranquility Base as it would appear today. John Jossy suggested connecting with GRU space, a startup working on lunar hotels, as a potential collaboration opportunity.Philippe explained the technical aspects of simulating laser beams and real-time rendering in their Virtual Moon project, clarifying that they use pre-computed graphics played back as loops rather than performing physics calculations in real time. Manny discussed their Virtual Moon Ambassador program and plans for permanent exhibits in science museums, while also announcing upcoming newsletter updates and promotional opportunities including property ownership and VR headset pre-orders. The team addressed questions about language support, with Philippe confirming plans to implement support for 125 or more languages using AI, and discussed potential collaboration opportunities with Dr. Kothari and Philip Swan regarding mass driver concepts and Falcon Heavy simulations.Special thanks to our sponsors:American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentNo program for Sunday, May 10, 2026 PT Due to Mothers Day.Guests: Dr. David LivingstonOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

The mortgage industry has been talking about AI and automation for years — but where is it actually delivering results today? In this episode of Connect, California MBA CEO Paul Gigliotti sits down with Neil Armstrong, newly appointed Chief Revenue Officer of Indecomm, to dig into the real-world mechanics of operational automation in mortgage lending. Neil brings a rare perspective — 20+ years in the industry, including time on the lender side at PHH and Citi Mortgage — and he's not here to sell buzzwords. He's here to talk process, ROI, and what it actually takes to build a scalable lending operation. From machine learning-based document classification to automated underwriting, from breaking down operational silos to the critical role of change management, Neil lays out exactly what's working, where lenders get stuck, and what the next wave of agentic AI looks like inside the mortgage lifecycle. In this episode: • Why cost-per-function analysis is replacing headcount as the efficiency benchmark • How Indecomm's IDX system is cutting title review from 38 minutes to 3 and appraisal review from 40 minutes to 6 • The 60% lift in underwriter productivity — and how automated underwriting is getting there • Why you can't automate a bad process (and what to fix first) • Change management as the #1 deployment killer — and how to get buy-in from the top down • The difference between deterministic rules, machine learning, and true generative AI (and why it matters) • What's coming next: agentic AI as a digital assistant for auditors and underwriters • The human-technology balance — why borrower-facing automation isn't the goal Connect is the California MBA's podcast where strategy, innovation, and leadership come together to shape the future of mortgage finance.

The year was 1969. I was a month shy of my ninth birthday. It was way past my bedtime, though it was only 10pm. In my memory of the event, it was the middle of the night. Along with my family, gathered around the black-and-white television in my parent's bedroom, we watched the broadcast of the Apollo 11 moon landing. At 10:56pm EDT time we witnessed, along with the rest of the world, a grainy, gray-scale image of Neil Armstrong stepping onto the lunar surface and say, “That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Neil left out a single syllable, word, “a”. He had meant to say “That's one small step for A man.” That man being him. Still, it didn't matter to anyone watching or listening at the time. The universe had changed. Humans from earth had stepped foot onto another world. Thousands of kids at the time wanted to become astronauts and join the space program. I wasn't one of them. Yes, I loved all things space, watched Star Trek, and followed every NASA launch. I remember Skylab and Mir, the Space Shuttle and Hubble. I geek out on videos from the International Space Station and have followed the Artemis program for years, finally seeing Artemis II launch, orbit the moon and splash down safely this April, nearly 55 years after Apollo 17, splashed down in December of 1972, ending human missions to the moon for over half a century. My life took a different path in 1969, having watched the Miracle Mets win the World Series and see them celebrate on the field, on that same black-and-white television in my parents bedroom, a couple of months later. I chose to pursue a life that would eventually get me on the field at some nebulous future date, when a team I was involved with won a World Series. I made it to that dreamed of future from my childhood in October of 1992, as I ran onto the field when the Toronto Blue Jays won their first World Series. Today's guest, on the other hand, did everything in her power to become an astronaut and earlier that same year, flew on the Space Shuttle Discovery, mission STS-42, as the first neurologist and Canadian woman in space. I even crossed paths with Roberta Bondar when she threw out the first pitch at a Toronto Blue Jays baseball game, soon after her shuttle flight. Two people from very different walks of life, with two very different goals, take different paths and end up in the same place all those years later. But it didn't end there. In 2022, when I was up in Sault Ste. Marie, I discovered that Dr. Bondar was born there and they had celebrated her shuttle mission with a flower garden built into a scale model of the Space Shuttle Discovery. The following year I heard she was giving a talk about her new book, "A Space for Birds", and I knew I had to go. This time it was two birds, not Blue Jays, that brought us back into the same space. After the talk, I spoke to her agent and we made arrangements for this very podcast. I've come a long way from that kid who loved space but wanted to live a childhood dream of winning a World Series, and Dr. Bondar has travelled to exactly where she wanted to be. To fly in space. Each of us, in different ways, didn't just wish and hope for these things to happen. We focused our lives and energies toward our goals. My mother used to say, “if wishes were horses, we would all ride.” That was an important lesson to learn as a kid. Don't wish, do. In an era when young people think that “manifesting” a dream will just make it happen, the people who are successful at achieving their goals, like Dr. Bondar, put in the hard work. Me, I just got lucky. Stop the presses! In a wonderful bit of serendipity, just days before this episode was due to air, with Dr. Bondar on the podcast to talk about Whooping Cranes, an actual Whooping Crane showed up in Northern Ontario. The next morning I hopped in the car and drove 6 hours north to the small town of Bruce Mines, and along with a who's-who of Ontario birders, waited until sunset to see this intrepid young female. She was born of wild parents at the International Crane Foundation in Wisconsin. After being released, Sinclair,(yes they get names and band codes), she joined a group of adults who migrated to Florida for the winter. Her spring migration home to Wisconsin went slightly of course and she has joined a flock of Sandhill Cranes in Northern Ontario. I was lucky enough to share the experience with many of my birding friends who also made the trek to see this intrepid traveller, who will hopefully contribute to the future of this endangered species. So join me, along with Doctor Roberta Bondar, as I live my life long dream to talk to a real, live astronaut about space, birds and A Space for Birds. Extro.

Michael, my dad, and me. Three generations arguing in one room. That's the format today. My dad watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon live at twenty-two years old. He remembers the Iranian hostage crisis when it was happening, not when it was a movie. That perspective matters when we get into where we are now — the rhetoric coming out of the White House, the ceasefire that may or may not hold, a war nobody has explained the objective of. We talked about the leaders we don't seem to produce anymore. Kennedy to the moon in ten years. Hungary voting out a hard-right prime minister by historic margins. Why most good people won't touch politics now — they'll destroy your entire family before you ever reach the ballot. Then the stuff that piles up every week. California's rail to nowhere. AI versus actual brain tissue running video games. ICE changing tactics. Cancer research funding cut by thirty-one percent. Civil War monuments and what you do with history you don't want to celebrate. And yes, my dad tried to break into the neighbor's house. And pissed himself at the rodeo. We get to that too. Enjoy.

The Danish-British author, broadcaster and comedian recalls her unusual early life with glee, including how she came to be holding the hand of Neil Armstrong's assistant at NASA's headquarters on July 20, 1969. (R)Sandi's interest in the world was stoked from a young age by her father, Claus, who was Denmark's first Foreign Correspondent, and who was incredibly famous in his homeland.It was her dad who believed experiences were more important than day-to-day schooling, which is how Sandi came to be holding the hand of Neil Armstrong's assistant at NASA's mission control on the day of the Apollo moon landing.Sandi's irrepressible curiosity in the world and its people has been a source of renewal for her, from moments of crippling loneliness and homophobia to joyful occasions and performances.Further informationOriginally broadcast November 2022.This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan.

Naomi Parry, the costume designer who worked closely with Amy Winehouse to craft her iconic style, has this week been vindicated in a high court judgement. Amy Winehouse's father brought the case against Naomi, and another of Amy's friends Catriona Gourlay, challenging their right to auction items that had belonged to the late singer. Naomi joins Nuala McGovern in the Woman's Hour studio to tell us what Monday's judgement means to her. Women have never walked on the Moon until now - at least not for real - but in the living rooms of East Belfast artist, Deby McKnight has made it her mission to get 100 women to take a moonwalk, recreating Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's historic steps in 1969. Using nothing more than imagination, moon boots and a small piece of the moon itself. We hear from Deby and Aislinn Duffield, who has taken part in her project.At the height of the Covid pandemic, hundreds of women undergoing treatment for breast cancer had mastectomies without reconstruction - procedures that would usually happen at the same time, but were paused because they were considered non-essential. Many women were told they would be able to have reconstructive surgery once the restrictions lifted. But five years on, some are still waiting: living with pain and discomfort, and unable to move on with their lives. Joining Nuala are journalist Rosie Taylor, who has been speaking to the women affected, and Alison from Stockport.'Passport Bros' is the name given to Western men travelling to countries like Vietnam, searching for what they call "good women" who hold traditional values. A new edition of The Economist's Weekend Intelligence Podcast has been exploring the phenomenon - what's attracting these men to relationships abroad and what's pushing them away from dating in the UK or USA. Reporter Carla Subirana explains more.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey

Welcome! With the resounding success of the Artemis mission to the moon, it seems like great time to look back at Ryan Gosling's take on Neil Armstrong, First Man. It's an intimate and epic look at a historical figure who was both enigmatic and introverted. Armstrong was a reluctant icon, and Gosling nails this portrayal. Enjoy!#Apollo #TheMoon #Artemis #ArtemisII #NASA

Casi 56 años después de que Neil Armstrong bajara por la escalerilla del Eagle, todavía hay quien sostiene, por lo general con un semblante muy serio, que todo aquello fue un montaje rodado por Kubrick en un estudio californiano. Es una de las teorías de la conspiración más conocidas y reproducidas. La historia arranca en plena Guerra Fría, cuando los soviéticos iban ganando la carrera espacial, una humillación que empujó a Kennedy a prometer que un estadounidense pisaría la Luna antes de acabar la década. La NASA cumplió. Entre 1969 y 1972, doce hombres caminaron sobre la superficie lunar. Cuando el programa Apolo ya había concluido, en 1976, un tal Bill Kaysing (que había sido bibliotecario en Rocketdyne, una de las empresas que fabricó el cohete SaturnoV) publicó un libro en el que aseguraba que todo había sido una estafa mil millonaria. Desde entonces los conspiranoicos repiten los mismos argumentos, algunos muy conocidos como que la bandera ondea, que no se ven estrellas , que las sombras van en direcciones raras o que atravesar los cinturones de radiación de Van Allen hubiese matado a los astronautas. Todo tiene respuesta que se ha dado miles de veces, pero eso no ha impedido que la teoría se mantenga. La prueba definitiva la dieron los propios soviéticos. Si hubieran podido demostrar el fraude, lo habrían hecho al día siguiente con desfile en la Plaza Roja. No lo hicieron porque no había fraude que demostrar. A eso hay que sumar los 382 kilos de rocas lunares, los reflectores láser aún operativos, las fotografías recientes del Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter y el hecho de que 400.000 personas trabajaron en programa Apolo. ¿Por qué pervive entonces esta bobada? Porque es una teoría de la conspiración. Ninguna se sostiene sobre pruebas sino sobre la desconfianza hacia las instituciones, el narcisismo del que se cree despierto mientras los demás duermen, y el empuje que a esto le ha dado internet y las redes sociales. Al conspiranoico no se le convence con pruebas ya que si las pruebas le convencieran, no sería conspiranoico.

La Luna siempre ha estado ahí, aparentemente a tiro de piedra. Se encuentra a una media de 384.000 kilómetros, lo que la convierte en el único cuerpo celeste que nuestros antepasados podían contemplar con detalle a simple vista. Eso hizo de ella territorio de sacerdotes, poetas y astrólogos durante miles de años. Sus fases regulares, ese ciclo de 29 días y medio, sirvieron para medir el tiempo mucho antes de que nadie entendiese la mecánica orbital. Calendarios lunares los hay por todas partes, desde el chino hasta el musulmán, pasando por el modo en el que los cristianos fijan la fecha de la Semana Santa. Llegar a pisarla ya era otra historia. La odisea empezó con la Segunda Guerra Mundial y los cohetes V-2 que Wernher von Braun desarrolló para el Tercer Reich. Acabada la contienda, estadounidenses y soviéticos se llevaron a los ingenieros alemanes. Von Braun acabó en Alabama trabajando para el ejército de Estados Unidos. Durante años su trabajo avanzó lentamente hasta que el 4 de octubre de 1957 la Unión Soviética puso en órbita el Sputnik. Aquella esfera que pitaba desde el espacio provocó la estupefacción de los estadounidenses. Los soviéticos repitieron con la perra Laika y luego con Yuri Gagarin, el primer ser humano en orbitar la Tierra. Estados Unidos iba siempre un paso por detrás. Entonces apareció Kennedy. Joven y ambicioso, vio en la Luna un proyecto casi de ciencia ficción en el que todos estaban de acuerdo. En mayo de 1961 anunció ante el Congreso que un estadounidense pisaría la Luna antes de que terminase la década. Era una promesa temeraria porque en aquel momento la experiencia tripulada de la NASA se reducía al vuelo suborbital de quince minutos de Alan Shepard. Nadie sabía cómo llegar a la Luna. Nadie tenía el cohete. Nadie estaba seguro de que fuera posible. Los programas Mercury y Gemini fueron la escuela. Con el Mercury aprendieron que un ser humano podía sobrevivir en el espacio. Con el Gemini ensayaron todo lo necesario para la misión lunar: acoplamientos, paseos espaciales, maniobras orbitales. El programa para llegara a la Luna la NASA lo bautizó Apolo. Adoptaron el perfil de misión propuesto por el ingeniero John Houbolt y Von Braun construyó el Saturno V, un monstruo de 110 metros de altura capaz de poner 45 toneladas camino de la Luna. Hubo tragedias. El incendio del Apolo 1 mató a tres astronautas en enero de 1967 y obligó a rediseñar la cápsula entera. Hubo también momentos gloriosos. El Apolo 8 llevó a tres hombres a orbitar la Luna en la Navidad de 1968. Y el 20 de julio de 1969, Neil Armstrong y Buzz Aldrin descendieron con el módulo Eagle hasta el mar de la Tranquilidad. Seiscientos millones de personas lo vieron en directo por televisión. Le siguieron seis misiones más, hasta el Apolo 17 en diciembre de 1972. Trajeron 382 kilos de rocas, desplegaron instrumentos, algunos incluso siguen funcionando hoy y cambiaron para siempre nuestra comprensión del sistema solar. Las huellas de aquellos doce hombres permanecen intactas en el regolito lunar ya que en la Luna no hay viento ni lluvia que las borre. Esperemos que quienes lleguen después las respeten.

What do Sir Steve Redgrave, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Nelson Mandela, Gandhi, David Beckham and John Robins have in common? None of them were asked on QI. Elis has though, and it's clearly going down very very well with all parties. But today feels significant as we rope in a special guest to digest Elis hammering his friend using his fast twitch fibres. On top of that, John's having a big day - something which others seriously doubt. “He's probably just had too much hot sauce on his scrambled egg,” cries Dave. Wrong! In fact he's being texted by a ghost curry house. Elsewhere the boys ask Adrian *all* the questions you've ever wanted to know, and we get a bit nostalgic as John talks of the only cool thing he's ever done.

George Noory and author Maureen Seaberg discuss the human sensory system and how sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch are far more sensitive that previously thought, the story of a woman who could identify what Covid smelled like, and why we couldn't have heard Neil Armstrong talking when he walked on the Moon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
